Xythos WebFile Server is the official WebDav server supported by the
Information Delivery Portal.
 
If you choose to install the Xythos WebFile Server, then the following
capabilities of the SAS Information Delivery Portal Web Application will
be enabled. If you do not install the Xythos WebFile Server, then these
capabilities will be disabled.
 
   * the capabilities of the SAS Web Infrastructure Kit that depend on
     WebDAV, including:
     * running stored processes in the background
     * running stored processes that create result packages in WebDAV
     * creating alerts
     * creating WebDAV Navigator portlets
     * accessing files
   * publication of portal content to WebDAV
   * access to publication channels that use WebDAV
   * creation of subscriber profiles with WebDAV as a delivery method
 
If you do not install the Xythos WebFile Server, verify that the
following lines in the Edit Properties window are set
before you run the Configuration Wizard:
 
   $DAV_AUTOCONNECT$=false
   $DAV_XYTHOS$=false
 
The $DAV_AUTOCONNECT$=false setting prevents the Web applications that
are included in the SAS Web Infrastructure Kit from automatically trying
to connect to the WebDAV server.
 
The $DAV_XYTHOS$=false setting disables the WebDAV capabilities that
require the use of the Xythos WebFile Server.
 
If you manually add these lines to the install.properties file, the
configure_wik.bat file must be re-run and the .war files populated
manually into the servlet container.
